Long before he'd ever set foot on a film set, Guillermo del Toro was a child dreaming about making a film adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic novel, Frankenstein. All these years later, his dream is realized, and Frankenstein is finally headed to theaters.
Though it may have taken him several decades, the Academy Award-winning director got the chance to make the movie that started his love of film.
"It took 30 years. It’s a movie I wanted to make before I even had a camera. There’s the DNA of Frankenstein on Chronos, on Blade Two, on Hellboy," he told Variety in 2025. "I pitched it everywhere. It’s been my Mount Everest to climb."
The new movie, starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, and Christoph Waltz is one of the most highly anticipated of the Halloween season. But, Frankenstein will only have a three-week cinematic run after it premieres at the Venice Film Festival on August 30.
You'll be able to catch it on the big screen just in time to start getting into the Halloween spirit, but not for long after. The film will go straight to Netflix, where viewers will be able to enjoy it from the comfort of their own homes, starting November 7.
If you don't want to wait for Frankenstein to make its Netflix debut, but you can't get to the movies before Halloween either, worry not. Netflix has plenty of other Halloween movies that are scary, spooky, and will totally get you ready for the most ghoulish day of the year.
